AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Alok Da, what is the difference between Faith and Trust? 🌼🙏

Faith is that the Divine exists and hence all will turn out to be good, not necessarily from the point of view of the ego but from the total perspective that the Divine only knows. It is like knowing that there is a good friend always with us, the best friend so to say.

Trust is that this Divine Friend or Grace will respond if i call. Trust is when Faith assumes a personal hue.

Confidence is in the ability of the Grace to sort out the problems best.

Thus, for example, one may have Faith that the Divine is there but doubt that She will listen or respond to me. Plenty of people have Faith but lack Trust.

One may have Faith and trust that the Divine is there and will respond but one is unsure whether She can solve or resolve my problems (for which one may give a number of reasons, karmic and pragmatic). It means there is lack of Confidence in the Grace even though Faith and trust are there.

The Mother says that all three are needed.

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Smoking and drinking are extremely difficult to quit. Being in relationship with someone with these two habits is going to be very straining in the long run. In relationship one should look for a long term togetherness. Short term attractiveness, outer looks etc do not last long. Important thing is whether your thoughts, aims and goals …
